Yunyang is adjacent to Zhaochen in the north, Yunhai in the south, Tiancheng in the east, and Mozu in the west.
Such a territory with a long history has had prosperity and troughs, and finally ushered in its own end one day. In September 2034, Yunyang officially changed hands, and its ranking in the new territory list continued to decline, reaching the bottom ten position.
And the last big battle that took place in the Yunyang Territory was also called the war with the lowest gold content in recent years by various territories, because both sides seemed to be armies put together hastily, and one of them collapsed on the battlefield It was very fast, and when everyone mentioned these things, it was inevitable that there was a bit of contempt in it. Although Yunyang in the past was ranked in the middle and bottom, but with those old foxes guarding it, it was somewhat intimidating. Now, after the big change in Yunyang, it has become a favorite in the eyes of all the territories.
It seems that anyone can come in and get a share.
At the beginning, in order to minimize the interference of external forces, Yun Ye, who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, traveled thousands of miles to win countless territories, and made various empty promises, as if he would share with everyone when he got Yunyang. And because the leadership team of Yuxi City is too young, many lords don't think they can manage Yunyang well, so they basically believe in the set of words that Yunye said, and they don't interfere too much in the internal struggle of Yunyang territory.
Now that the general situation in Yunyang is certain, the various territories have begun to send people to the door to ask for benefits.
Lide received the envoys of each family alone, and he was very polite to everyone, with a smiling face from beginning to end, but what he said was not human:
"Ah, it's not like I won't give it. But look, Lingyun City hasn't been captured yet, and His Majesty the King hasn't recognized my identity. Even if I want to give it, I can't give it. Don't worry, wait for me. Take care of the rest of the matter, I promised you at the beginning, a copper plate will not be missing!"
"You should be anxious, I understand, I completely understand. But you have also seen that our Yunyang side is really too poor now. At the beginning, we promised everyone various benefits, but now we can't get them all in one go. Give it out. Then who will it be given to first, and who will it be given to last? It has to be summed up, otherwise, what if the other family is not satisfied and fights with you?"
"Come here again? Didn't you just come here not long ago? Come on, don't worry about debts. Not long ago, we just bought a batch of high-quality wine here. Today we can't talk while drinking." Don't return drunk! Yun Ye, bring us our signature water of life!"
In this way, batch after batch of envoys from the territory were sent.
Of course, this is just a tactic to delay the attack. Sooner or later, other territories will lose patience, but as long as they still want Yunyang's things, they can only appeal through procedures. Because it is different from the time when the princes were fighting for the position of lord, Lide now has a certain degree of control over the entire Yunyang territory, and there is no possibility of abolishing Lide and replacing him with a puppet lord in other territories.
Either go to war with real guns and knives, or you can only engage in diplomatic wrangling. At present, the two sides are still in the stage of wrangling, and will not rise to military conflict for a while. Taking advantage of this period of time, Fang Shisan once again gathered some of Yunyang's defeated troops, and at the same time further strengthened the training of the original troops, trying to ensure that the troops always maintain a fairly high level of combat power.
Takis still had 40,000 Yunyang frontier troops, and Fang Shisan maintained their current establishment. However, because the relationship between Lide and Yunhai has always been good, and Yunhai will not expand outwards until he decides to give birth to a son, the 40,000 frontier troops were temporarily taken back for unified training. Arrange for Takis to execute the training plan.
There are not a few Yunyang generals like Takis who surrendered to Yuxi City, but most of them are guys with mediocre qualifications or think they are capable. Naturally, Yuxi City would not let this kind of person take the position, but some really capable guys lacked the opportunity to show their talents on the side of Lord Yunyang, but Yuxi City could arrange them in suitable positions.
Farming and training are top priorities, and He Yue and Fang Shisan are doing their best.
But other things cannot stand still. Even if Lingyun City has not yet been fought, and the new Yunyang Territory has not yet been designated as the main city, the reconstruction and development of Yunyang has begun to enter the right track. This is what Li De said to He Yue before, Yuxi City must have a set of rules, which can be implemented and can lead the people of Yunyang to a better future.
Industrial development, talent introduction, promotion of new crops...every link must not be left behind. Fortunately, Yuxi City had already rehearsed the situation after defeating Yunyang, and made a lot of preparations in advance, so that they would not panic when faced with such a situation. Winning Yunyang was an exhilarating event for everyone, but after the enthusiasm, everyone calmed down quickly, and everything was stable as usual.
Of course, not everyone can continue to maintain the blood.
"It's time to win Yunyang", "You can enjoy it", "It's time to make money"... Some people also began to embrace such thoughts. He Yue asked Lide what he thought, and Lide's answer was simple:
"It's just human nature. Are there many people like this?"
He Yue shook her head.
The ambition of Yuxi City was not limited to Yunyang from the very beginning. Since Li De made friends with Yun Hai, opened up business routes with Zhaochen, and cooperated with the Mozu, people living in Yuxi City gradually began to get in touch with the outside world. The emergence of various groups such as the Valley of the Wicked, the Guild of the Brave, and the Church of the Abyss has also caused the influence of the idea of "suffering and enduring" promoted by traditional temples to plummet.
Opening up business routes, freedom of speech, cultural diversity... When these factors come together, they will subtly begin to change people's thinking and make them gradually curious about the "outside world".
Their vision is not limited to Yunyang, or even the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven.
Low-level demons, without wisdom, are convenient labor.
The low-level giants are tall and can build various high-rise buildings.
The elves... Although they look like a vase, they can treat many diseases that traditional medicine cannot do.
What about further afield
Is it true that there are huge treasures under the sea? Can the dragon chariot that can only be used by the royal family be popularized in every household? How prosperous is the capital? How strong is the Lingwu cavalry? What are Western Qin and Southern Chu like? It is said that the heirs of King Huai's territory and Tianqi's territory did not get along with Li De, and even secretly helped Li Yi attack Yuxi City back then, can this revenge be taken back
There are people who start to enjoy themselves, but more people are still in a state of dissatisfaction.
It's just that Yunyang—it's just that the tenth-to-last territory is not enough.
We have more advanced technology, a more efficient system, a more brilliant culture, and a more aggressive army, so why stop here? This is just the beginning, just a springboard to a broader future!
This is already the atmosphere under the rule of Yuxi City. I believe that in the near future, some changes will take place in the whole territory of Yunyang.
The torrent of history is unstoppable, as long as the snowball takes shape, it will keep rolling all the way.
Li De looked at He Yue, smiled and said:
"It's too early to start degeneration. Let everyone keep a clear head. If you can't calm down, go to a vacation, let the wind blow, and look at the people who don't have enough food and clothing. Come back after calming down. Then continue I'm not addicted to pleasure while working, let alone put on an attitude that the battle is over."
